“And people are just people,
They shouldn't make you nervous.
The world is everlasting,
It's coming and it's going.”

“A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes.
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind.
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out.
You left me in the dark.
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight.
In the shadow of your heart.
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat.
I tried to find the sound.
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became.
I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map.
And knew that somehow I could find my way back.
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too.
So I stayed in the darkness with you.”

“This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again”

“Holy water cannot help you now
A thousand armies couldn’t keep me out
See, I’ve come to burn your kingdom down
I’ve come to smoke you out
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in my house
See, I was dead when I woke up this morning,
And I’ll be dead before the day is done
And now all your love will be exorcised
And we will find your sayings to be paradox
And it’s an even sum
It’s a symphony
It’s a battle cry
They can keep me alive
‘Til I tear the walls
‘Til I slave you heart
And they take your soul
And what have we done?”
